It all started in 1984, when two childhood friends Khushru P.
Patel & Aspi M. Forbes named their dream after the first letters
of the three family members: Jasmine P. Patel, Aspi M. Forbes &
Khushru P. Patel and promised to make it the best printing house.

A lot has changed since then. As JAK forges ahead with new
opportunities, spreading its wings in new markets, its roots are
entrenched in our founder's vision: an everlasting commitment
towards 'quality', which for them and us, never goes out of style.

Looking back at the humble 250 square foot beginning 2 decades ago is gratifying. Especially when one considers the
one-acre Byculla complex which JAK printers now calls home. Sparked by passion and a dream to establish a
never-seen-before printing press, Khushru P. Patel and Aspi M. Forbes sold their mothers' jewellery and a lone bike to establish
their little endeavor. It was a testing time of their patience, commitment and inner strength.

From printing innovative personal stationery as samples, to creating beautiful writing pads, and tiny slip books to sell,
their setbacks rolled into motion with clients trusting and recognizing their merit. From working on machines,
to printing, binding, and finally delivering the final product, they saw through each job personally. While Khushru ran
the letterpress machine at night, Aspi managed things during the day.

As they slowly started expanding and building a strong expertise, state of the art machinery and a dedicated team,
they moved up from the single 250 sq. feet gala into four galas measuring a total of 2700sq feet. 2003 was
a turning point with the purchase of the current one-acre property, divided into dedicated departments and specialities.
It is from here that the name JAK grew in proportion as well as reputation. Making every moment more than its worth.
